As to the first items as to a Mass said for Hugo Chavez in Caracas, Venezuela, cited from the Guardian (UK), the writer is flat out wrong in suggesting that the Rev. Mr. Jesse Jackson had any role in "officiating" at the Mass. He is not an ordained priest, is not a Catholic and whatever the writer may suppose, he is absolutely unqualified to receive the Eucharist much less to "officiate" at the Mass. In the event that "pastor Alexis Romero Valera" is likewise not a priest and not a Catholic, the same applies to him. Likewise, only a priest should be delivering remarks at the funeral and those remarks should be limited to the hope of those gathered for the Mass that the deceased might someday be admitted to heaven with no assumptions as to that outcome (Pelagianism).
As to Mahmoud Ahmanutjob, he has no role to play whatsoever despite his insolent prediction that the late Venezuelan dictator, among others, will accompany Christ back to earth. Let Ahmanutjob kiss his own coffin.
